STATEMENT: Rep. Stevens on the Trump Administration's USMCA Review Announcement

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following the Trump administration's announcement that it will not extend the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in its current form, initiating the agreement's review process and negotiations over potential changes, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens released the following statement:

“Michigan workers and manufacturers must be at the table as we decide the future of USMCA. Michigan has paid the price with poorly structured 20th-century trade deals, including NAFTA. The best deal will ensure our auto industry and supply chains do not get undercut by China. I also want to see real and enforceable labor and wage standards for all workers and stop corporations from offshoring production. We must continue to grow American manufacturing and protect American jobs.

“I don’t trust the Trump Administration to get this done or to stand up for American workers.

“Congress must be at the table, and Michigan must lead.”
